You're using Windows, correct? If I recall correctly, the espeak library isn't installed on Windows by default.

I've tried to search for a solution but have only come up with inconclusive answers. It seems that installing espeak on windows may entail a number of challenges.

I'm open to suggestions if you know of a better library for handline speech synthesis. I've be happy to make or accept changes to switch to it.

i hope we can resolve this with java script library for speech synthesis instead of using python packages .

@gunthercox did you get any alternative for espeak

gunthercox commented 6 years ago

The pyttsx3 library by @nateshmbhat seems to be a promising solution for cross platform text to speech.

mravunni commented 6 years ago

do we get any working example with pyttsx3 for chatterbot?

gunthercox commented 6 years ago

I do not currently have a working example using pyttsx3.

I've switched the project away from using eSpeak in favor of Festival. Festival has a number of advantages including the ability to use customized voices.

I'm going to close this ticket off since eSpeak is no longer being used.
